We talk Wildcats and Hawkeyes with Max Brekke.

Inside NU: When you talk Iowa basketball, you have to talk Peter Jok. What makes him so good, and when teams are able to limit him, what have they done?

Max Brekke: What makes Peter Jok so good is the fact that he's an elite scorer, as just about everyone knows at this point. He doesn't need a whole lot of room to throw up a shot and he has such a quick release that it doesn't matter if someone is in his face. He's always been a great shooter, but throughout his career, he's started to drive more to the basket and back down smaller defenders in the post, especially as the 6'6" ball handler has recovered from knee surgery.
